Detection: Windows OneDrive Share Mounted via Net

Description

The following analytic detects the use of net.exe or net1.exe to mount a OneDrive share as a network drive. This behavior may indicate an attempt to stage, access, or exfiltrate data through a cloud-hosted WebDAV path rather than a traditional file share. If confirmed malicious, an attacker could use the mounted share to move data outside the environment over trusted cloud infrastructure.

Default Configuration

This detection is configured by default in Splunk Enterprise Security to run with the following settings:

Implementation

The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search, you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process. Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the Processes node of the Endpoint data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field names and speed up the data modeling process.

Known False Positives

Legitimate users may mount OneDrive shares for synchronized access or backup purposes. Monitor for unauthorized or unusual mounting activity to reduce false alerts.
